Can I use this to control my Dell laptop via my flatscreen tv to watch netflix, search the web, etc?

Sure, but there is no way to zoom a webpage in windows.... this keygoard does not have ctrl+ or ctrl- so you won't be able to change zoom in Chrome, Firefox or IE, Setpoint doesn't allow remapping for that key combination. To be able to change web zoom, you have to get the DiNovo Mini. This product was really meant for Google TV.

I'm not sure about that. I only connect my laptop to the TV to play Netflix and things like that. Really I use the TV as a monitor I guess you could say. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

A question: Will this device enable me to use Netflix streaming on my Toshiba HDTV? I have wireless internet in my home.

It will only work if you Dell has this type connector, look to see if it has HDMI connection, this will be clearly stated in your owners manual.

Yes what you are thinking would work easily. Wire it as if you weren't using a wireless device. You can input/output any way you want. I use these all the time. Hope this helps. Flatscreenguru.

Yes I needed this to access my apps like netflix. Some of the Smart tvs may have built in wifi but as I said I needed this. Hope this helps.

yea you can it just has different labels for computer. Be sure to have green feature switch off. if its on it will not allow you to turn on certain devices unless tv is on. but if you have a fancy powerful system with several devices and are being used constantly and demand high watt usage then i would not recommend to use.

If you have Dell instructions, you can follow them. The Internet connection is not as straight forward

I'm using mine for a monitor. I have a Dell laptop and had to push Fn and F8 to get it to work. Thank goodness for google. Don't know if I'd have found that info anywhere else. Folks at Vizio didn't know.

I don't think this unit had that function. You can connect to Netflix in the setup menu.

Yes you can. I just setup mine last night, netflix is available in media center, you just need to sign in. Make sure you have silverlight installed from microsoft, or it won't work.

Yes. I am currently using it for that very purpose. Just as long as both your desktop monitor and wall-mount flat screen support VGA connections.

If you have an HDMI connection on your HDTV, yes it works great. I have Netflix and hooked up my Asus Zen tablet to stream movies without any problems. Also, if you use a wireless mouse and keyboard, you can surf the net using the TV as the monitor.

The Dell Studio 1555 has a HDMI output.It has one of those Express card slots, so I would imagine that if you want to watch TV you can get a card which allows it. As for finding a laptop like the specifications you asked, I would recommend doing a filter search on Amazon or a similar laptop specific website. Good luck!

I assume you already have a AP active. If the Dell has a ethernet port, this should work... but, installing a wireless card or wifi dongle would be cheaper and certainly easier

If you use Window Media Center, you can install a Netflix addon there that you can control with this remote (or any MCE remote). OTher than that, You'd have to use custom software like EventGhost or IntelliRemote to add this type of functionality.

Yes, it will work for you. Please make sure your Dell laptop has a VGA port and your TV has a HDMI port.
